Ladies of Rappler, it's gonna get worse before it gets better so hang on to your ears. Take consolation and courage from the fact that in the end truth is what will move people towards the right path. Truth is the shield, and the weapon, all tyrants are fearful of.

so a media magazine picked a journalist to be person of the year… i live in the philippines and i haven't heard of this woman… i thought person of the year was supposed to be someone who impacted history good or bad.. not unknown journalists who are out doing the western media's dirty work..

Maria Ressa is an Arrogant Leftist Globalist Puppet Traitor to the Filipino's who spread hate and misinformation. Hiding under the narrative of free speech for her arrogance and oral defamation. Tax Evader and Queen of Fake News. Time Magazine is a trash Magazine of Globalist.

The timing of this award is very fishy. Maria Ressa is using the context of press freedom to cover up her tax evasion case and condition the mind of the audience that she is being persecuted (observe her persuasion techniques in the vid). TIME, CNN and the likes of Ressa is the media weapon of self -serving globalist against any government who will not bend on their demands.

As we say in the Philippines,,KalokohanMaria runs rappler a liberal media source,she's ex-cnn which is globalist media and it makes sense a libPublication like time would kiss her ass,let me know when trillianes or Joma sison will be made men of the year for being anti duterte

YUCK! Maria Ressa? You can just measure how thick her face is from the eczema covering it. She is a tax evader and fake news peddler. Seriously? TIME just lost a heck of credibility. DISGUSTING PIECE OF SHIT.

In just two and a half years, the psychopath president of the Philippines has turned his government into an epitome of immorality, indecency, impunity, incompetency, corruption, lawlessness and autocracy. Rule of law and the protection of human rights are now being set aside as an unnecessary bureaucracy and inconvenience. Duterte doesn't understand that dissent and criticism form the bedrock of Democratic institutions. That's why the fascist dictator-wannabe is hellbent on silencing his critics like Ms. Maria Ressa.
